Trusted bath resealing in Burray Village

Bath resealing in Burray Village, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Burray Village

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover Burray Village?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Burray Village from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Burray Village

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burray Village. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
